Where to dance and what to drink: Buenos Aires New Year's 2012

As the Porteños move to the coast from Buenos Aires for their summer holidays, the city becomes calm and free to explore. Here’s a helping hand to aid your New Year’s Eve celebrations.

A to B isn’t as easy as the ABC
If you are travelling from the airport to Buenos Aires, the best option available is to take a transfer. However, the price is likely to be double the normal transfer rate when travelling on the 31st December and the 1st January. The same price increases apply to taxis which are extremely hard to find between 8pm and 2am on New Year’s Eve so, make sure you book your taxi or any private transfer the day before.  Ask for help from your hotel, or, if you have the Spanish, call one of the city’s Radio taxi services such as, Taxi Alo ((Tel: (+54) 4857 1111)). Alternatively, pack some comfortable shoes and take a nice stroll from your New Year’s Eve celebrations to your accommodation.

Receive New Year’s with the rhythm of the 2x4
 Welcome in 2012 by going to see a special New Year’s tango show at a tango house of your choice. If you buy a tango show with BsAs4u you will get a FREE classic city tour and a transfer from the Ezeiza International Airport or the Aeroparque to your accommodation. Continuing on the festive spirit, customers will be entered into a raffle to win an exclusive helicopter ride in Buenos Aires. 

Start as you mean to go on

Party like a Porteño would if he/she were in the city. Some clubs are open on New Year’s Eve with two of the biggest parties at Niceto Club and CroBar. The clubs will not be open until about 1am so, head to one of the plazas or to Puerto Madero (http://www.bsas4u.com/top10buenosairesplacestovisitandhotspots.php) for your previa (pre-party) so that you can see the fireworks go off around the city at midnight.

Niceto Club (Niceto Vega 5510) – Tickets cost AR$60 and can be bought in advance on Ticketek. For more information email: fiesta@pisocompartido.com.ar

CroBar (Marcelo Freyre, Paseo de la Infanta) – There will be a special performance by Sander van Doorn. Tickets are selling out quickly however, they can still be bought by calling: (+54)47781500; emailing: info@crobar.com.ar or on the Ticketek website.

Eat and drink your way into 2012
Make sure you book in advance otherwise you will not get a table at any of the restaurants. Check the local Restaurants Guide, GuiaOleo, to find the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful cuisine of Buenos Aires whilst celebrating the New Year. Search by price, location, cuisine and many other factors.

We hope you all have a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you in Buenos Aires in 2012!
